Rishi Sri Upamanyu

Upamanyu is the name of a Hindu rishi, the traditional author of hymn 1.102.9 of the Rig Veda.

The historian B. C. Law, writing in the 1920s, supposed that Upamanyu was the father of Kamboja Aupamanyava referred to in the Vamsa Brahmana (1.18) of the Sama Veda. The latter is the first mention of the Kambojas, an Iranian tribe neighbouring Iron Age India, who feature in the Mahabharata.
